[QUOTE="David Ponder, post: 912891, member: 65447"] Hi all, I went out this morning and the Trac wouldnt unlock on the drivers side. The outside door handle has been loose for a while, but always worked. I noticed that when I hit the unlock on the key fob, the interior lock shaft would go up about half way, and the door handle on the outside would move. I soon figured out that if I hold the handle still, it would unlock enough to get the door open. Once I was inside the truck, I manually pulled up on the lock shaft, and it stayed all the way up, BUT, if I then pull on the outside handle, the shaft would go down about half way. I am thinking the problem is the handle. I dont think there is an issue with the power lock actuator because it seems to move freely and the actuator is strong. So, am I on the right track here? and if so, what is involved in replacing the outside handle? Thanks, Dave [/QUOTE]
